Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

This is my sad hope as well.
I want the economy to crash so I can afford things.
Watching homes in my area go from 300k to 1 mil in less than a decade is surreal. This isn't even a fancy area.
Okay but for how long? Climate change is going to destroy the global food supply chain and Americans rely HEAVILY on imported food. What happens when the oceans displace all the major port cities that receive everything else? When Americas aging infrastructure falls apart will there be the resources, knowledge, or even political will to rebuild it?
I'm not saying this to attack you... more so to point out that the Boomer Gen X strategy of making theirs and dying before SHTF is a risky bet for anyone younger.
